25 of 42 PSU fans have them breaking Iowa's team points record.

I say they come up well short.

What say you now?

Rassling.  You can put your big boy pants on and start the thread yourself.

Possibly.

At 148 through Friday, they are already through my projection of 145. With 6 in the final and 2 that can finish as high as 3rd, they have a good chance at this point.

They need 23.5 to tie the era adjusted record (not yet adjusting for the 3 pt TD). Obviously, 6 titles tonight is 24 more points right there. Throw some bonus on top (and PSU has scored crazy bonus this year), and some Truax/Kasak magic, and the record is well in the rear view mirror. Then the only question will be how the 3 pt TD affects the total.

This is tough. MDs of 8 or 9 points were unlikely to be MDs in years past. TFs, though, are a bit different. Who is to say a TF in the 2nd period would not also be a TF under the old rules? The bout is stopped for a reason, so that you will not keep stacking up points.

I meant no disrespect by asking you to set this up despite what’s noted above. Anyone can create a thread but I’m out in left field when it comes to excel or what ever program you use. My apologies for the misunderstanding

@Wrestleknownothing this record is becoming very attainable

If my math is right, 4 champs does it.  Not the adjusted record, though!

[MLB9]

4 decisions tonight would break 170, yep. Pretty crazy

Not gonna lie.  If PSU gets it done it will be more satisfying with the asterisk knowing how much it'll burn the hearts of the Iowa faithful

As it should be.  The heart of sports fandom is sports hating your opposing fans.

[NM1965]

Just imagine, Kasak was supposed to ride the bench this year. 

[NM1965]

Well that's it. PSU has 155.5 points. That breaks the all time record already, doesn't it? 

[Pinnacle]

4 wins tonite gets it done. 

[PortaJohn]

[wrestle87]

172.5...at least recently, shorting Penn State is like shorting father time.

No, actually you didn't. You waited until it was almost a done deal to try and take a victory lap. If you have a problem with my work feel free to speak up when there is a chance you may be wrong.

"Woohoo, a guy made a prediction that was wrong. Now I got him."

You didn't just make a prediction. You started a thread to show people you really know nothing.

Basically all of us were wrong. I’m glad to be wrong though.
